What does TIPSY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
Slightly drunk; mildly affected by alcohol without being seriously intoxicated.
Tipsy describes a light, often good-humoured stage of drunkenness, well short of being seriously drunk, typically after just a glass or two too many. The word carries a gentle, faintly comic tone rather than a disapproving one, and it is often used affectionately about a friend who is giggly, unsteady or talkative after drinking. By extension, tipsy can also describe something unsteady or leaning as if it might topple over, echoing the wobbly walk of someone who has had too much to drink. The everyday sense involving alcohol remains by far the most common use of the word.
